Optical Coupling Gel for BK7 Glass |
|||
|
|
|||
The Luxlink®.OG-1052 Optical Gel has the refractive index of BK-7 glass and is close to the refractive index of other frequently used glasses. As an optical couplant, it is used to reduce or eliminate reflection losses. It is not recommended for use with Acrylic as it is slightly incompatible at elevated temperatures. It is normally opalescent / translucent but is clear in thin layers as it is normally used. It is useable over a wide range of temperatures; freezing point is less than 45 °C, boiling point is greater than 370 °C. Sold in 0.4 oz containers. (Note we also have Optical Gel with an index of 1.457for fiber optic cable OG-1001)
